I had a blood test done at 12 weeks that told me I had a slightly elevated risk of a ds baby (1/247) so I had a level II u/s done today and everything looked normal except for one pinky which is missing the middle bone. The doctor said that this could be a soft marker, but she said there wasn't enough research to even give statistics on what it indicated.

I've been really nervous about having an amnio done, I've been against it all along, but now I'm wondering if I should have one to save myself worry and stress. I'm going to have the baby regardless of any birth defects, but it might help me prepare.

I'm confused and feeling upset... all because of a missing pinky bone... which could mean nothing at all.... any advice?
